Officers chase stolen SUV in East, West Lampeter townships

A police chase and crash early Thursday in Lancaster County injured two people and resulted in one of them being arrested.

About 3:30 a.m. Thursday, an officer spotted an SUV that had been reported stolen Tuesday in Lancaster in the parking lot of a motel along Lincoln Highway East, police said.

Investigators said the officer tried to stop the vehicle, which sped up and led officers on a 3-mile chase into West Lampeter Township, where stop sticks were used in an effort to stop the SUV, police said.

The SUV lost control in the 1800 block of Rockvale Road, hitting a tree in a home's front yard, police said. The two men inside were injured.

Investigators said the passenger in the SUV, 47-year-old Daniel Charbonneau, was treated and released at Lancaster General Hospital.
